What is Kubernetes MCP Server?

Kubernetes MCP Server enables AI assistants to manage K8s clusters through natural language. Deploy applications, scale workloads, manage services, and troubleshoot issues without complex kubectl commands or YAML manifests.

KUBERNETES COMPLEXITY OVERLOAD

Teams waste 40% of their time managing Kubernetes configurations. YAML hell, networking mysteries, deployment failures - K8s is powerful but punishingly complex.

Kubernetes MCP makes cluster management conversational. Say "Deploy my app with 3 replicas and auto-scaling" and watch Claude handle everything - manifests, services, ingress, the works. Enterprise orchestration, simplified.

ORCHESTRATION MASTERY

Intelligent Deployments

Deploy apps with optimal resource allocation, auto-scaling, and health checks configured automatically.

Multi-Cluster Management

Manage multiple clusters across cloud providers. Seamless context switching and cross-cluster operations.

GitOps Integration

Generate and manage Helm charts, Kustomize configs, and GitOps workflows automatically.

Security First

RBAC, network policies, and security contexts configured with best practices by default.

10-MINUTE SETUP

  1. 1

    Install Kubernetes MCP

    npm install -g kubernetes-mcp-server
  2. 2

    Configure kubectl access

    Ensure kubectl is configured with cluster access

  3. 3

    Add to Claude Desktop

    { "mcpServers": { "kubernetes": { "command": "k8s-mcp", "args": ["--kubeconfig", "~/.kube/config"] } } }
  4. 4

    Start orchestrating!

    Try: "Deploy nginx with 3 replicas and a load balancer"
